Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.

As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

When interacting with extended attributes the vfs verifies that the
caller is privileged over the inode with which the extended attribute is
associated. For posix access and posix default extended attributes a uid
or gid can be stored on-disk. Let the functions handle posix extended
attributes on idmapped mounts. If the inode is accessed through an
idmapped mount we need to map it according to the mount's user
namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to non-idmapped mounts.
This has no effect for e.g. security xattrs since they don't store uids
or gids and don't perform permission checks on them like posix acls do.

The posix acl permission checking helpers determine whether a caller is
privileged over an inode according to the acls associated with the
inode. Add helpers that make it possible to handle acls on idmapped
mounts.

The vfs and the filesystems targeted by this first iteration make use of
posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user() and posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user() to
translate basic posix access and default permissions such as the
ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP type according to the initial user namespace (or
the superblock's user namespace) to and from the caller's current user
namespace. Adapt these two helpers to handle idmapped mounts whereby we
either map from or into the mount's user namespace depending on in which
direction we're translating.
Similarly, cap_convert_nscap() is used by the vfs to translate user
namespace and non-user namespace aware filesystem capabilities from the
superblock's user namespace to the caller's user namespace. Enable it to
handle idmapped mounts by accounting for the mount's user namespace.

In addition the fileystems targeted in the first iteration of this patch
series make use of the posix_acl_chmod() and, posix_acl_update_mode()
helpers. Both helpers perform permission checks on the target inode. Let
them handle idmapped mounts. These two helpers are called when posix
acls are set by the respective filesystems to handle this case we extend
the ->set() method to take an additional user namespace argument to pass
the mount's user namespace down.

This replaces uuid with null in overlayfs file handles and thus relaxes
uuid checks for overlay index feature. It is only possible in case there is
only one filesystem for all the work/upper/lower directories and bare file
handles from this backing filesystem are unique. In other case when we have
multiple filesystems lets just fallback to "uuid=on" which is and
equivalent of how it worked before with all uuid checks.

This is needed when overlayfs is/was mounted in a container with index
enabled (e.g.: to be able to resolve inotify watch file handles on it to
paths in CRIU), and this container is copied and started alongside with the
original one. This way the "copy" container can't have the same uuid on the
superblock and mounting the overlayfs from it later would fail.

That is an example of the problem on top of loop+ext4:

dd if=/dev/zero of=loopbackfile.img bs=100M count=10
losetup -fP loopbackfile.img
losetup -a
  #/dev/loop0: [64768]:35 (/loop-test/loopbackfile.img)
mkfs.ext4 loopbackfile.img
mkdir loop-mp

umount loop-mp/merged
umount loop-mp
e2fsck -f /dev/loop0
tune2fs -U random /dev/loop0

mount -o loop /dev/loop0 loop-mp
mount -t overlay overlay -oindex=on,lowerdir=loop-mp/lower,\
upperdir=loop-mp/upper,workdir=loop-mp/work loop-mp/merged
  #mount: /loop-test/loop-mp/merged:
  #mount(2) system call failed: Stale file handle.

If you just change the uuid of the backing filesystem, overlay is not
mounting any more. In Virtuozzo we copy container disks (ploops) when

Container folks are complaining that dnf/yum issues too many sync while
installing packages and this slows down the image build. Build requirement
is such that they don't care if a node goes down while build was still
going on. In that case, they will simply throw away unfinished layer and
start new build. So they don't care about syncing intermediate state to the
disk and hence don't want to pay the price associated with sync.

So they are asking for mount options where they can disable sync on overlay
mount point.

They primarily seem to have two use cases.

- For building images, they will mount overlay with nosync and then sync
  upper layer after unmounting overlay and reuse upper as lower for next
  layer.

- For running containers, they don't seem to care about syncing upper layer
  because if node goes down, they will simply throw away upper layer and
  create a fresh one.

So this patch provides a mount option "volatile" which disables all forms
of sync. Now it is caller's responsibility to throw away upper if system
crashes or shuts down and start fresh.

With "volatile", I am seeing roughly 20% speed up in my VM where I am just
installing emacs in an image. Installation time drops from 31 seconds to 25
seconds when nosync option is used. This is for the case of building on top
of an image where all packages are already cached. That way I take out the
network operations latency out of the measurement.

Giuseppe is also looking to cut down on number of iops done on the disk. He
is complaining that often in cloud their VMs are throttled if they cross
the limit. This option can help them where they reduce number of iops (by
cutting down on frequent sync and writebacks).

An incompatible feature is marked by a non-empty directory nested
2 levels deep under "work" dir, e.g.:
workdir/work/incompat/volatile.

This commit checks for marked incompat features, warns about them
and fails to mount the overlay, for example:
  overlayfs: overlay with incompat feature 'volatile' cannot be mounted

Very old kernels (i.e. v3.18) will fail to remove a non-empty "work"
dir and fail the mount.  Newer kernels will fail to remove a "work"
dir with entries nested 3 levels and fall back to read-only mount.

User mounting with old kernel will see a warning like these in dmesg:
  overlayfs: cleanup of 'incompat/...' failed (-39)
  overlayfs: cleanup of 'work/incompat' failed (-39)
  overlayfs: cleanup of 'ovl-work/work' failed (-39)
  overlayfs: failed to create directory /vdf/ovl-work/work (errno: 17);
             mounting read-only

These warnings should give the hint to the user that:
1. mount failure is caused by backward incompatible features
2. mount failure can be resolved by manually removing the "work" directory

There is nothing preventing users on old kernels from manually removing
workdir entirely or mounting overlay with a new workdir, so this is in
no way a full proof backward compatibility enforcement, but only a best
effort.

Commit 9df085f3 ("ovl: relax requirement for non null uuid of lower

allow enabling index and nfs_export features with single lower squashfs.

Fabian reported a regression in a setup when overlay re-uses an existing
upper layer and re-formats the lower squashfs image.  Because squashfs
has no uuid, the origin xattr in upper layer are decoded from the new
lower layer where they may resolve to a wrong origin file and user may
get an ESTALE or EIO error on lookup.

To avoid the reported regression while still allowing the new features
with single lower squashfs, do not allow decoding origin with lower null
uuid unless user opted-in to one of the new features that require
following the lower inode of non-dir upper (index, xino, metacopy).

When mount with nfs_export=on, and fail to verify an orphan index, we're
cleaning this index from indexdir by calling ovl_cleanup_and_whiteout().
This dereferences ofs->workdir, that was earlier set to NULL.

The design was that ovl->workdir will point at ovl->indexdir, but we are
assigning ofs->indexdir to ofs->workdir only after ovl_indexdir_cleanup().
There is no reason not to do it sooner, because once we get success from

Overlayfs is using clone_private_mount() to create internal mounts for
underlying layers.  These are used for operations requiring a path, such as
dentry_open().

Since these private mounts are not in any namespace they are treated as
short term, "detached" mounts and mntput() involves taking the global
mount_lock, which can result in serious cacheline pingpong.

Make these private mounts longterm instead, which trade the penalty on
mntput() for a slightly longer shutdown time due to an added RCU grace
period when putting these mounts.

Introduce a new helper kern_unmount_many() that can take care of multiple
longterm mounts with a single RCU grace period.

Since then, xattr lookup is needed on every write since file_remove_privs()

bottleneck when writing small chunks of data. In my test case,
file_remove_privs() would consume ~15% CPU when running fstime of unixbench

We still create the "work" dir on mount regardless of index=on and it is

The reason we do not use "index" directory also as workdir with index=off

So far, with xino=auto, we only enable xino if we know that all
underlying filesystem use 32bit inode numbers.

When users configure overlay with xino=auto, they already declare that
they are ready to handle 64bit inode number from overlay.

It is a very common case, that underlying filesystem uses 64bit ino,
but rarely or never uses the high inode number bits (e.g. tmpfs, xfs).
Leaving it for the users to declare high ino bits are unused with
xino=on is not a recipe for many users to enjoy the benefits of xino.

There appears to be very little reason not to enable xino when users
declare xino=auto even if we do not know how many bits underlying
filesystem uses for inode numbers.

In the worst case of xino bits overflow by real inode number, we
already fall back to the non-xino behavior - real inode number with
unique pseudo dev or to non persistent inode number and overlay st_dev
(for directories).

The only annoyance from auto enabling xino is that xino bits overflow
emits a warning to kmsg. Suppress those warnings unless users explicitly
asked for xino=on, suggesting that they expected high ino bits to be
unused by underlying filesystem.

When xino feature is enabled and a real directory inode number overflows

overlay st_dev.

The real inode st_ino with high bits may collide with a lower inode number
on overlay st_dev that was mapped using xino.

To avoid possible collision with legitimate xino values, map a non
persistent inode number to a dedicated range in the xino address space.
The dedicated range is created by adding one more bit to the number of
reserved high xino bits.  We could have added just one more fsid, but that
would have had the undesired effect of changing persistent overlay inode
numbers on kernel or require more complex xino mapping code.

Allow completely skipping ->revalidate() on a per-dentry basis, in case the
underlying layers used for a dentry do not themselves have ->revalidate().

E.g. negative overlay dentry has no underlying layers, hence revalidate is
unnecessary.  Or if lower layer is remote but overlay dentry is pure-upper,
then can skip revalidate.

The following places need to update whether the dentry needs revalidate or
not:

 - fill-super (root dentry)
 - lookup
 - create
 - fh_to_dentry

Following patch will allow remote as upper layer, but not overlay stacked
on upper layer.  Separate the two concepts.

Use a common loop for plain and weak revalidation.  This will aid doing
revalidation on upper layer.
